How's everyone finding this so far then? Today I've had some great bids on ebay, and two buy it nows sell too so I'm pleased with that. I'll get a load more on tomorrow, and wrap the bits that have sold. I've also used a few things up. I'm not seeing some friends to exchange gifts until New Years Day, so I've used up some bits in my baking cupboard and have made Chocolate Tiffin tonight, then will do a chocolate log and some shortbread tomorrow. It'll use up some of the open packs that I've got, and not cost me any money to still give a nice gift.LBM 27/12/14.

Wow, you're doing brilliantly!! How long has 60 listings taken you to do? I normally get bored after 20!
Thanks
Its taken hours! i did it over a couple of days. I have items to post out this morning on items that ended last night.
I was very bored but determined to get rid of the clutter. Now i just need to physically get it out of the house, i am hoping the majority will sell - fingers crossed.Finally dealing with debt: 01.01.2015 -£10,562.:(

Hi, can I join this challenge, please?
I really need to get rid of some stuff! I don't think I'll make any money from it though- there's sentimental stuff I've been carting around with me for years but I'm starting to wonder what's the point; there's a paper mountain, and then there's the pure junk!
Here's to using it or losing it!
Happy new year everyone.0 -
I would like to join too please!! Had so much going on over the last 13/14 months that everything has gone to pot. Health money and house! I have decided that 2015 is going to be the year I sort everything out. We all seem like-minded people so here goes .....
